Henry David ThoreauIt requires more than a day's devotion to know and to possess the wealth of a day.
Henry David ThoreauThe very willow-rows lopped every three years for fuel or powder, - and every sizable pine and oak, or other forest tree, cut down within the memory of man!

We shall be reduced to gnaw the very crust of the earth for nutriment.
